Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince2009

[Hermione is being offered an hors d’oeuvre at Slughorn's Christmas party after evading McLaggen]

Waiter:
Dragon Tartare?

Hermione:
No, I’m fine, thank you.

Waiter:
Probably just as well, they give one horrible breath.

Hermione:
On second thoughts... [Grabs tray and gobbles one] Maybe it'll keep Cormac at bay... oh God, here he comes!

[Hermione slips out before she is seen by McLaggen]

Harry:
I think she just went to powder her nose.

McLaggen:
Slippery little minx your friend is. Likes to work her mouth, too, doesn’t she?

[McLaggen eats one of the hors d’oeuvres off of a tray Harry is holding while talking to him.]

McLaggen:
What is this I'm eating, by the way?

Harry:
[tentative] Dragon Balls.

[Snape joins them behind the curtain. McLaggen throws up on Snape's shoes.]

Snape:
[pause] You've just bought yourself a month's detention, McLaggen - [Harry tries to leave] not... so quick, Potter!

Harry:
Sir, I really think I should rejoin the party. My date...

Snape:
Can surely survive another minute or two. Besides, I only wish to convey a message.

Harry:
Message?

Snape:
From Professor Dumbledore. He asked me to give you his best and he hopes you enjoy your holiday. You see, he’s traveling, and he won’t return until term resumes.

Harry:
Traveling where?

[Snape is silent and then walks off.]
